Record Prediction for 2024 Season

I think are starters are pretty solid but depth and QB holds us back from going any further.

Also expecting the defense to start slow but tighten up as the year goes.

Adjusting slightly from last week's thread. I don't have confidence in the QB situation and the secondary really worries me.

5-12.

The OL is still the biggest problem. to many injuries in the preseason with Runyon, Neal, Schmitz. Hopefully they have improved and create a pocket for DJ to be as comportable as Dak is. I can dream.

No playoffs though

I said 8-9 in last thread, but I was trying to be optimistic.

Realistically, probably 5-12. I have no confidence whatsoever in the QB. The secondary scares the hell out of me. And if we don’t get off to a fast start, I can see the wheels coming off pretty quickly.

...But more competitive than previously. This season should settle any QB debates here.

FWIW, I think the secondary is better than in 2022 and they held up just fine.

If you told me I was off by one, I’d assume 6-11 rather than 8-9.

If I had to guess.

But 4-13 a real possibility.

8 or 9 wins.

If he goes down and we need Lock/Davito to finish out the season, I am much more pessimistic.

Of course, take away any one of Burns, Dex, Thibs, Nabers or Thomas (or any of the OL that happen to be an upgrade) and it gets much uglier IMHO.....

which may be what Schoen is hoping.....to get his QB in the draft.

but will save it for our season preview show.

and I don't think DJ makes it thru the whole season.

not going to believe Jones can turn it around and bounce back from 2 serious injuries in less than 12 months.

I don't think DJ holds up a full season

On defense, I don't think we have enough depth to overcome any inventible injuries. If Kayvon or Burns miss any time, that secondary is going to get exposed.

speak it into existence

We could be a 4 win team. With a little luck 8 wins.

This is a poker game, and I’m shoving my chips to the middle of the table. I’m raising the ante, and anybody who wants in, get in. Anybody who wants out can get out. This team is going to the playoffs, OK? This team is going to the playoffs.

very winnable games. Then I can see 9-8 or 8-9 and in the hunt for a WC in December.

Always varies on injuries.

I do say 7-10 may sound reasonable but I wouldn't be shocked if they went 9-8 either.

4-11-2

Daniel Jones makes All Pro.

Hello Daniel.

And 10 wins.

Most likely 8 or 9.
I'll pick 9

I’ve been overly optimistic in the past, but I don’t see us getting over inconsistent QB play. And, inevitable QB injuries…

Our defense will keep us in games, although our DBs scare me

All Pro or Pro Bowl? Because those are different things.

+/- 1

I think I am being generous.

if they get a slightly better version of Jones from 2 years ago they can win 10 games..

The secondary is young but i think they are going to be better than people think..

Also go look at the roster Daboll made thenplayoffs with 2 years aho, this years is much better

I think Daniel Jones struggles in an offense which needs him to consistently be able to throw the ball down the field. Really disappointed the powers that be did not provide us with a better back up QB situation. If Jones struggles it is going to get really ugly really fast.

plus or minus two wins wouldn't shock me.

I don't think Phillie's collapse was a fluke. Replacing the best center in NFL history will not be easy. Teams will be able to scheme block Parsons as there is not much after him with their injuries (he'd never get off the line of scrimmage against a Parcells/Bellichick team).

I look at our schedule and I don't see more than that.

Another long season in the making.

And if we don't both of the first two games then maybe only 2 wins.

.

10-7,

Start off 2-0.

DJ throws for 28 TDs and runs for 5 more.

If they go 2-2

this is a 6-8 win team

So I’ll split the difference and say 5-12. It’ll be apparent our season is toast again by mid October as our pre bye schedule eats us alive.

Think the offense will surprise some people and finish top half, while the defense will struggle giving up big plays in the passing game.

The schedule is surprisingly tough for a team that finished 3rd in its division.

The secondary is going to get lit up early and often.

Jones playing from behind consistently is going to be painful to watch.

I'll predict that Jones makes it through 9 games before he is out with a major injury and Luck lasts three games. DeVito finishes up the season.

Last year it was the Giants offense that was hystorically bad. This year it'll be the defense.

And both sides of the DJ coin will have their ammunition to further dig in their trenches

We beat Eagles last game of the season to win the division.
Barkley openly weeps.

Dude, knock this shit off

They'll start out the season with some awful record again like, 0-7 or 1-6, Jones gets hurt again.

Which means, they'll start winning more to boot then out of a top 1-3 pick. I think this is, finally, the end of the Daniel Jones era.

I was so optimistic last year, so I'm going the other way in 2024. Secondary is not good and I'm not sold on the O.

That only works once.

Jones is unable to see the secondary and tertiary receivers and if the primary is covered, he'll check off or take off. He may actually be benched at some point, but Lock is not an improvement. I don't trust Schmitz's shoulders. If Theo Johnson is not able to master the essentials of an NFL TE, the Giants have no effective TE. Unless the pass rush is able to get to the QB, most teams will march down the field facing little resistance. Another year of non-competitive football.
